DeepSeek V4 Preview costs about 85 percent less than GPT-5.5.

DeepSeek says both models are more efficient and performant than DeepSeek V3.2 due to architectural improvements, and have almost "closed the gap" with current leading models, both open and closed, on reasoning benchmarks.

DeepSeek's quest to keep frontier AI models open is of benefit to the entire planet of potential AI users, especially enterprises looking to adopt the cutting-edge at the lowest possible cost.

DeepSeek released its new model just days after Moonshot AI, another Chinese start-up, introduced its latest open-source model, Kimi 2.6. While these systems trail the coding capabilities of the leading U.S. models from Anthropic and OpenAI, the gap is narrowing.

The Chinese lab that shook Wall Street just dropped its biggest, most efficient model yet, hours after OpenAI launched GPT-5.5.

Discover how DeepSeek 4 rivals closed-source AI in 2026 with open weights, reduced FLOPs, and advanced hardware validation on Havi Ascent NPUs.

DeepSeek, whose low-cost AI model stunned the world last year, on Friday launched a preview of a highly anticipated new model, called the V4, adapted for Huawei chip technology, underlining China's growing autonomy in the sector.
